The drivers love kids and will take a ton of time to sign stuff and talk to you and your children. It's how all sports should be. My son actually got me into the sport when he was two years old.

Took my son to another show this weekend at the Buck Motorsports Park in Lancaster. We went to the Linc (yes, Eagles stadium) in Philly last month for a BIG show that will be on SPEED Channel soon.

What's not to like about a 5-ton truck with an 1600-1800 HP big block Ford or 572 Chevy engine? They sound amazing...like a muscle car but 5 times louder.

From the Philly show:

Check out the awesome save starting after the wheelie at about 0:20.



After 1:00 gets good.




From this weekend:





These guys have some driving skills to control a 10,000-pound vehicle like this.

Monster trucks are very cool to watch. Grave Diggers shop is about 40min. from my office and you pass it on the way to Nags Head. I've stopped once but if your a big fan your kid would enjoy going. Years back a lady I work with went down to Va Beach to check out the monster trucks doing a show on the beach. Grave Digger was also giving out rides and she went for a ride and while doing a donut they flipped over.
